How strong is your grip?

You can train your grip strength at home! Try building up to the double towel hang. It's an uncommon exercise that builds strength (and muscle!) in our palms and forearms.
The "type" of grip strength this uses seems to be different than the ones we use to do pullups or lift barbells. It's not uncommon to struggle at first. Rope climbing uses the same grip!
Training grip AFTER your pull sets for a 2-3 sets is a great way to incorporate grip training.
Simply build up to around 3 sets of 60 seconds on each exercise before moving on!
An older version of this video showed how to build up to a one-arm towel hang. While this is an impressive feat of strength, I got the feeling most people wouldn't care enough to try it. So I recommended the double towel hang instead!
Similarly, a one arm bar hang (which I show here) is a good exercise, but sometimes causes the shoulders to fail before the grip does. So I left it out this time.
Hope this can help! Have a wonderful day.

How do you deal with seasonal affective disorder or depression through the winter months? Need tips ♥

[@HybridCalisthenics]

Hmm I don't necessarily struggle with that at the moment, but I've recently found that adding some supplements seem to help my mood! So adjusting our diet might help for those who don't want to supplement. In Germany, I was recommended to take vitamin D tablets because of how cloudy it gets there!

[@maximofernandez196]

It's interesting cause my mood seems to change so much based on how much sunlight I was exposed to through the day. I don't know if it is real or just a placebo, but either way, I can really notice a strong difference. If you can have a little bit of sunlight every day, do it. It really helps :)
